More quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
You can go home again...so long as you understand that home is a place where you have never been.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The preservation of life seems to be rather a slogan than a genuine goal of the anti-abortion forces what they want is control. Control over behavior: power over women. Women in the anti-choice movement want to share in male power over women, and do so by denying their own womanhood, their own rights and responsibilities.
Ursula K. Le Guin
To oppose something is to maintain it.
Ursula K. Le Guin
In war everybody is a prisoner.
Ursula K. Le Guin
The reader can't take much for granted in a fiction where the scenery can eat the characters.
Ursula K. Le Guin
It is a real wilderness, and those who go there should not feel too safe.
Ursula K. Le Guin
If one believes that words are acts, as I do, then one must hold writers responsible for what their words do.
Ursula K. Le Guin
I hope you are never victims, but I hope you have no power over other people.
Ursula K. Le Guin
In the tale, in the telling, we are all one blood. Take the tale in your teeth, then, and bite till the blood runs, hoping it's not poison and we will all come to the end together, and even to the beginning: living, as we do, in the middle.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Children know perfectly well that unicorns aren’t real, but they also know that books about unicorns, if they are good books, are true books.
Ursula K. Le Guin
It's the self that suffers, and there's a place where the self--ceases. I don't know how to say it. But I believe that the reality--the truth that I recognize in suffering as I don't in comfort and happiness--that the reality of pain is not pain. If you can get through it. If you can endure it all the way.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Sometimes you must go against the wheel's turn.
Ursula K. Le Guin
I have decided that the trouble with print is, it never changes its mind.
Ursula K. Le Guin
While we read a novel, we are insane—bonkers. We believe in the existence of people who aren't there, we hear their voices... Sanity returns (in most cases) when the book is closed.
Ursula K. Le Guin
There's seldom as much hurry as I used to think there was.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Greed puts out the sun.
Ursula K. Le Guin
At the pit's bottom is no anger.
Ursula K. Le Guin
That I was not dueling with the king, but trying to communicate with him, was itself an incommunicable fact.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Wrongs done could not be righted, but at least they were not still being done.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Artists are people who are not at all interested in the facts - only in the truth.
Ursula K. Le Guin
